Health

The Menzies School of Health Research in Darwin is one of the leading institutes with a primary focus on the health of Indigenous communities, as well as people living in tropical and remote areas.

In 2010, RHD Australia was established under the Menzies banner in Darwin, to provide Australia with its first national response to rheumatic heart disease and acute rheumatic fever.

Royal Darwin Hospital’s (RDH) National Critical Care and Trauma Response Centre is recognised internationally for its disaster response preparedness and its capacity for treating victims with critical injuries.

Australia’s Royal Flying Doctor Service is one of the largest aero-medical organisations in the world. Using the latest in aviation, medical and communications technology, it delivers primary health care and 24-hour emergency service to people in regional Australia. Facilities for technical tour visits are available in Darwin and Alice Springs.
